Heaven on Earth
We had the most wonderful and very special stay at the cabin. The hosts were extremely helpful before we arrived, they answered questions swiftly and gave great recommendations. The view takes your breath away and I got up every morning to watch the sunrise and listen to the wildlife, it was very special and made leaving today very difficult. The cabin is lovely and well kitted out, it had everything we needed. I really could not recommend this place and the hosts enough, amazing, thank you.

Perfect lake cottage
We loved the cottage, it was perfect! We loved watching the sunset and the moonlight at night was beautiful on the water. The stairs leading down to the water was so nice the 2 different levels to enjoy! We plan on coming back in the summertime. Thank you to our hosts, they both were so kind!

This beautiful cottage was the perfect getaway. My husband and I spent our anniversary week here with our two dogs and loved every minute of it. The view was amazing and the stay was relaxing. The cottage was clean & our host was very helpful. I would recommend staying here.

A big disappointment
The online pictures were deceptive. Bed looked to be a king but was only a double. There were gnats on the walls, floor, and bed in the upper bedroom. Our son had to sleep on the sleeper sofa. The kitchen had no measuring spoons or cups. There was no dishwasher or washer and dryer. Also the steps down to the water were very steep, uneven, and overgrown with weeds. There were no blinds on the windows next to the pullout sofa so the morning glare woke my son. We won't be staying here again and it was very disappointing to know we had to pay the high rental fee for what we received.

Great Weekend
This is a great property! We enjoyed so many things about it....the view, the location, the peace & quiet, the coziness--it was all amazing! My husband took the boat and we spent mornings and evenings fishing. It was so quick and easy to get to the boat ramp. We also enjoyed just sitting on the patio and relaxing while watching the river. Had some good steaks and hot dogs from the grill and picked up a quick meal from the nearby cafe. One afternoon, we took a drive into Tennesse to see the Shilo Battleground and found Hagy's Catfish Hotel nearby for some great food! Viviane was super nice and easy to work with. We could not ask for a better stay and hope we can come back!

Great spot with great views!
We had a great time! We loved the location and the views! The property was exactly as described. we also read the reviews before booking so we knew about what to expect… if you missed some reviews you may want to know it is secluded (perfect!) away from town (perfect!) you may want to grab your groceries etc before getting there! Also - note there is no closet space (kind of a bummer) and you are the dish washer (which is also fine with me!) the only thing that wasn’t great for us is that we came for fishing … with our boat. Just know - it is not a good place for a boat. There is no turn around area once you enter the drive way so we backed down the drive way with the boat every time. But it worked out and the boat ramp is extremely close! Overall it was fantastic. Small and cozy cabin and I loved the stairs going to the water!! We stayed 4 nights and would have loved to stay longer!

The property was great and the owners were so kind and responsive to my inquiries. If the second bedroom is required, people with difficulty on stairs should take note. We managed fine [over 70 and healthy] Property is very private and not in the hustle and bustle of a nearby town. Our trip was to bring my 98 year old father to see his old camping and fishing grounds at Pickwick Dam. He had a wonderful visit. We would definitely stay again.

Great spot on the River!
This is a fantastic little A-frame cabin! Exactly what we expected and room for a couple kids if needed. GPS took us right to the driveway. The view is almost due North leaving an amazing East/West shot of the Sunrise & Sunset straight up & down the river. The new deck & stairs down to the water are a great addition. This will be very cool for summer visitors that may have a boat, and regardless it's a perfect spot to fish from or sit at the water. Cell service was good and the Tv/Internet worked fine with no issue. It's only about 30min. back into town (Florence) for roaming and some great places to eat. The cabin itself and neighborhood is very low-key and as peaceful as it gets. We had a wonderful trip. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for a great weekend. RT

Perfect quiet getaway
Perfect place to getaway from the crazy city life. With a fire going and stars shining bright it was almost like the stress had completely dissolved. Beautiful golf course with in 45ish min, amazing views for riding our bikes and a view of the river from sun up to sun down that you literally can’t get anywhere else. Fishing and relaxing on our private dock, Yes please! Words to remember you will be in a very small(dry county) so make sure to stop or look up before hand on wine and groceries. This will be a shocker when your used to everything being close and then finding out now it’s a 30 min plus drive for coffee creamer and hotdogs. Again totally worth it though! Pre plan your food and beverages and your be great! We will definitely book again!!!

Great Little Getaway!
My partner and I wanted a relaxing weekend to re-charge out of the city and this place was perfect! The property is beautiful and right on the TN River. I did some online recon beforehand and we brought groceries with us to make use of the Oklahoma Joe smoker there on the property. The host recommend a few restaurants in Florence, we tried one of them before heading home and it was definitely an added highlight to the trip! We hope to stay here again soon :) **Make sure to get the appropriate directions to the property before traveling.

Absolutely Beautiful Place!
Absolutely beautiful place! The river view is awesome day & night. It was a very comfortable, accommodating and peaceful place to just get away and enjoy some family downtime. We enjoyed fishing from the deck below, tied-off floating on the river, grilling out back, relaxing out on the patio, while taking in the river views. Our 6 yr old granddaughter loved the swing, and watching the water activity on the river from the boats and seadoo’s. This is a very small town, not many accommodations so prepare well. They do have a small store in town, with a grill for some foods, and air for inflating floats. The owners were very accommodating, pleasant, and prompt to work with. We would definitely recommend this place and hope to return ourselves!!!

Great Lake House Stay!
We had so much fun staying at this little cabin. It had everything we needed and the view of the lake was incredible ! We rented a boat at the marina for a couple of days and explored the lake quite a bit - as we had never been. It was fun! So far on the top of our list for potential lake house spots.
